I've been to 27 countries on 4 continents, was a former brewer in a small brewery and worked for a major US craft brewery, but nothing compares to Great Lakes Brewing Company. The Dortmunder Gold is by far the most superior beer I've ever had in my life. With all the beer craze, GLBC has always stuck to what it knows and continued to produce amazing quality beer and a nearly unmatched consistency. It can sometimes be a little crowded, but I say grow up, grab a beer, and make new friends!
